Abstract

Protective Effects of Dietary Pomegranate Seeds Powder Supplementation against Oxidative Stress of Organochlorine Pesticides Residues in Growing Rabbits

Highlights

The increased use of pesticides in crop protection raises the possibility of feed contamination that contributing to in a variety of biological or toxicological effects in the production of animals, as well as the exposure to pesticides is one of the causes of the increased levels of oxidative stress ( Jabłońska-Trypuć, 2017)
The objective of this work was to evaluate the productive effects of pomegranate seeds powder as an effective antioxidant in growing rabbit’s diets to alleviate the adverse effects of organochlorine pesticides residues (OCPs) oxidative stress on growth performance, carcass traits, antioxidant status, hematological and some plasma biochemical parameters of growing rabbits
Correlation coefficients (r2) values varied from 0.791 to 0.996, as the highest r2 was obtained for dildren, and the lowest was for γ-Benzene hexachloride (γ-BHC)

Summary

Introduction

The increased use of pesticides in crop protection raises the possibility of feed contamination that contributing to in a variety of biological or toxicological effects in the production of animals, as well as the exposure to pesticides is one of the causes of the increased levels of oxidative stress ( Jabłońska-Trypuć, 2017). Organochlorine, organofluorine, organophosphates, carbamates, pyrethroids, bipyridyl herbicides, triazine herbicides and chloroacetanilide herbicides that have been shown to induce oxidative stress (Temiz, 2020). The oxidative stress is the imbalance between the generation of free radicals and antioxidant defense of the body. Pesticides induce oxidative stress as a mechanism for their toxic action in the body (Medithi et al, 2020). Free radicals play a significant role in the toxicity of pesticides that can cause oxidative stress, leading to the production of free radicals, antioxidants alterations, oxygen free radicals, the scavenging enzyme system, and lipid peroxidation (Cortés-Iza and Rodríguez, 2018). The quality of rabbit meat associated with a healthy and balanced diet (Trocino et al, 2019)
